Liked: nothing

Disliked: everything above. My room reservation had not been cancelled even though I phoned them and contacted you they didnt mention my deposit I paid either and the guy on front desk had not a clue about what he was doing not his fault as he wasn't trained correctly.

Liked: The room was ok altough you could see the cleaners hadn't been very thourough. I had to pick up some rubbish from the previous tenants and bin it myself. At least toilet was clean and shower worked properly. The room wasn't too small and had free tea and coffee.

Disliked: They have a gig going on the night I was there. I couldn't sleep as the music, drumming, people screaming, etc, was blaring even although I was in a room 2 floors up, so I decided to join in only to find out that I had to pay to get in!?! At least, if they won't allow their own guests to sleep they should let them into this club for free! Other guests were running up and down the stairs until 4 am and I wasn't able to go to sleep until that time. There was no one in reception to complain. I had to call a mobile number to call someone to come and collect the key so I could check out since there was no one there in reception again!! What would you do if you've got no credit or no phone??

Liked: Rooms were simple but nice, clean and beds were good as well. For the price we paid, no hostel can beat this. 10m walk to city centre. Very good budget accommodation, would definitely return.

Disliked: Nothing really, deco is old and a bit tacky but as I said, for £17 a night, for a private room, who cares?! Nice, clean and comfy!

Liked: If you are looking for a cheap place to stay that is close to town then this is it. You do get what you pay for but to be honest if it is just a place to sleep then it is great. The bar down stairs is good and they have live music. Be warned if you are looking for someone have piece and quite I don't this will be it. This is mainly a place to sleep and go out and enjoy Bournemouth. Our group had an amazing weekend
